Last night I ran a game to introduce a new group to #Monsteroftheweek  and used the Clootie from Book of Unremitting Horror.  The letter written by a little girl in this book practically handed me the mystery. What resources do you use for inspiration? I’ve used creepypasta, mythical creature wikis, monster tropes, and urban legends, but I hadn’t thought of looking through another RPG book of monsters until yesterday.

I used this unhappy fellow in last night’s “one shot” of Monster of the Week.  I put one shot in quotes because the group decided that they liked their hunters and this game so much that they would like to keep playing.  I only meant to introduce them, not start up a new campaign.  Not a problem though, it was fun!  I had a blast.

Monster is the Clootie from Book of Unremitting Horror

So Cracked has some pretty creepy places listed.  I used Takakanonuma Greenland and looked up some of the lore on it.  I actually used some of the creepypasta story I found on a journalist gone missing and sent my MotW hunters to go find him.  Take a look at the link and check out their creepy locations list!  Have any of you used real life locations for your campaign?

Last night on session 7 of Monster of the Week … Takakanonuma Greenland!  The hunters encounter different types of yōkai.  They ventured to the Japanese abandoned amusement park (only found by coordinates, 250km north of Tokyo) to retrieve a missing journalist, free some spirits, and seal the demon gate! #monsteroftheweek
